Kevin de León on the issues:

Medicare“In California I led the fight for Medicare-for-All, and in Washington I will do the same. Getting it done won’t be easy, but taking on special interests never is. Today, millions of Americans are vulnerable under the current Republican Administration. Californians need – and deserve – a meaningful discussion about Medicare for All and guaranteeing healthcare access for every American.” Read more

Clean Energy
“California has always pushed the innovative envelope. That’s what we do: We push ourselves westward, headlong into the future. Whether Washington, D.C. likes it or not, we pull the rest of the country along with us. Now more than ever, our country needs California to press on, to lead us into a golden, verdant future.” Read more

Gun Control
“America’s gun violence epidemic is a stain on our society.

Free Public Education
“Promoting affordable plans for community college, vocational schooling, and higher education will help us achieve the best-educated workforce in the world and ensure that our future leaders are given equal opportunity to succeed.

Immigration Reform
“In California we celebrate our diversity because we know it is our greatest strength. We did not become leaders in the global economy by closing our borders and refusing to pursue progress. We did it by welcoming difference and recognizing that California is stronger because we live in a nation of immigrants.” Read more

Marijuana
“We need leadership in Washington that will push for real marijuana reform like Proposition 64, instead of fomenting unfounded fears about cartels and our kids. It’s time to cut a path toward progress and support proposals for comprehensive marijuana legalization like Senator Cory Booker’s Marijuana Justice Act. Marijuana should no longer be a Schedule 1 drug. States should no longer have to miss out on important revenue and reform opportunities, and Americans of color should no longer be deprived of their freedom because of outdated federal policy.” Read more
